    SCOTUS has changed the rules.

    If you can’t come to terms with what has happened, the one living in a fantasy land is you.

    Any American who does not think we are electing a King this November is a dangerously ignorant citizen.

      No, we agree that we’re electing a person with the power to be a king. That’s already objectively awful. The way it could get worse is if we elect someone who will actually use the power of a king. Because that moment is the end of the game, not merely an escalation.

      Right now we have a candidate that I think we both agree will not use that power. Holding the presidency and keeping it away from those who would use that power is the best outcome, until enough Supreme Court justices turn over (which could even be a single 4-year term, though it’s not likely).

        No the game is over when the rules change.

        If you are playing hockey and suddenly a referee with real authority over the game starts using the rules of basketball, hockey is OVER no matter what the players do. It doesn’t matter what the players do.
